For the world which man pictures as Nature when he sees this physical world, is also not the one in which he is immediately living, but one which lies as far *below* the truly human world as the world of Michael lies *above* it. It is only that man fails to notice that unconsciously, when he makes for himself a picture of his world, the image of another world really arises. When he paints this picture he at the same time excludes himself and succumbs to the spiritual automatic process. Man can only preserve his humanity by placing over against *this* picture, in which he loses himself in the picture of Nature, the other, in which Michael rules—in which Michael leads the way to Christ.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"9.
